EV Sales Projections Dip Amid Forecasted Increases in Overall Alternative Powertrain Sales Through 2031

AutoPacific’s newly released forecast predicts alternative powertrain market share in the U.S. will increase from 24% to 38% by the end of 2031

Consumers continue to be more accepting of powertrains with some type of electrification for various reasons, including more available vehicles, better fuel economy, and available features and tech”
— Deborah Grieb, AutoPacific Director of Marketing and Consumer Insights

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Noted automotive market research and consulting firm AutoPacific recently issued its forecast of annual U.S. light vehicle sales, predicting a 15.9 million unit year in 2026, down from 16.3 million units sold in 2025. Following this projected drop, AutoPacific expects volume recovery through the remainder of the decade and into the next. A primary focus for AutoPacific, and an important factor for industry growth, is alternative powertrains, specifically hybrids, plug-in hybrids (PHEV and EREV) and full electric vehicles (EV). As a whole, these alternative powertrains are expected to continue gaining market share throughout the forecast period, rising from 24% of the total market in 2025 to 38% in 2031, with hybrids powering most of that growth.

According to data from AutoPacific’s annual Future Vehicle Planner, comprised of nearly 18,000 consumers who intend to acquire a new vehicle within the next 3 years, demand for hybrids has ranged from 16% to 19% since 2022, while demand for EVs and PHEVs has dropped recently, influenced heavily by the elimination of Federal tax credits for EVs that have effectively made EVs a lot more expensive today, and compounded by tariffs, inflation, and continued concerns about EV charging. Regardless of shifts in interest, 36% of new vehicle shoppers intend some type of alternative powertrain, nearing AutoPacific’s 2031 market share expectation. “Whether it’s an EV, hybrid or PHEV, consumers continue to be more accepting of powertrains with some type of electrification for various reasons, including more available vehicles, better fuel economy, environmental concerns, attractive EV styling, or available features and technologies” says AutoPacific Director of Marketing and Consumer Insights Deborah Grieb.

EV Sales Drop but Republican Shoppers May Throw a Lifeline

As expected after the elimination of Federal tax credits on EV purchases and the addition of tariffs on imported vehicles and parts, EV sales have dropped drastically since October 2025. AutoPacific is forecasting an EV market share dip to 7% in 2026, marking the very first expected annual drop in EV market share since 2011, when the first mass produced EVs went on sale. While these new Republican policies have dealt a major blow to EV adoption in the U.S., Republicans may be a lifeline for EV growth going forward. Data from the latest Future Vehicle Planner reveal that EV intenders are now more likely to be Republican than Democrat. Specifically, 43% of EV intenders are Republican while 36% are Democrats – a story that has everything to do with Tesla, whose controversial leader Elon Musk has earned strong support from many Republicans. While Tesla did experience sales and market share declines in 2025, it must be noted that Tesla still accounted for 44% of all U.S. EV sales in 2025. Given Tesla’s dominance over the EV market and Elon Musk’s popularity with Republicans (which has led to 48% Tesla considers being Republican and only 32% of them being Democrat – a virtual swap from the prior year), it’s logical that EV consideration in general among Republicans has skyrocketed.

With Tesla’s continued dominance in the EV space, it may be that Republican shoppers end up being a lifeline for EVs in the U.S. market, at least in the short term. And contrary to popular perception, politics – outside of support for Elon Musk – don’t seem to play much into Republican shoppers’ attitudes towards EVs. AutoPacific’s data show that among Republicans who do NOT want an EV, only 13% say political beliefs are a reason they don’t want them. Rather, cost and charging/range anxiety – the usual EV rejection reasons – are the top the reasons for EV rejection among Republicans. Beyond the short-term lifeline that may be attributed to Republicans, the U.S. market may be starting to evolve to where EVs really are just powertrain options rather than statement pieces.

Chinese EVs are Coming to North America – What Does That Mean for the U.S. EV market?

Due to recent negotiations between China and Canada, the U.S.’ neighbor to the north will get Chinese EVs in the near future. As data from AutoPacific’s Future Vehicle Planner show considerable and surprising awareness and interest in Chinese vehicles among U.S. new vehicle shoppers, this development suggests that Canada – a market that is culturally not too different from the U.S. in many ways – will be a good proxy for how Americans will respond to the eventual entry of Chinese vehicles in the U.S. market. Additionally, AutoPacific’s soon-to-be-fielded Canada Future Attribute Demand Study will provide the ability to compare the U.S. and Canada market for Chinese auto brand considerations and concerns, EV interest and feature demand.

Certainly, many Chinese vehicles, and EVs in particular, demonstrate impressive performance, technology, AI integration, self-drive features, and designs that are getting a lot of attention thanks to American consumers’ social media exposure. While Chinese EVs are not yet depicted in AutoPacific’s forecast, it is safe to say they will make a very significant impact in the U.S. marketplace when they arrive. Automakers competing in the U.S. market need to be more than aware of the volume and market share threat they potentially pose; they need to be proactive now to meet that challenge head-on when they arrive.

OLOID and TEC360 Partner to Modernize Identity Across Frontline and Shared-Device Environments

By working with TEC360, we’re helping organizations transition away from password dependency in a way that aligns with how their environments actually operate.”
— Michael Benayoun, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at OLOID

SUNNYVALE, CA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OLOID, a provider of passwordless authentication and identity orchestration solutions purpose-built for frontline and deskless workers, today announced a strategic partnership with TEC360 to help enterprises eliminate password friction and modernize identity across shared devices, operational systems, and distributed worksites.

Across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail, logistics, and critical infrastructure, frontline employees repeatedly log in to shared workstations, rugged mobile devices, and operational applications throughout the day. In these environments, traditional password-based authentication slows workflows, increases helpdesk dependency, and introduces security risks – particularly where devices are shared, and turnover is high.

Rather than asking organizations to overhaul their infrastructure, the partnership focuses on integrating passwordless authentication into existing IAM, HR, and physical access ecosystems.

“Frontline operations move fast, and identity has to keep up,” said Michael Benayoun, Head of Partnerships and Business Development at OLOID. “When workers are logging in dozens of times per shift, passwords create unnecessary friction and risk. By working with TEC360, we’re helping organizations transition away from password dependency in a way that aligns with how their environments actually operate.”

OLOID provides flexible authentication options, including biometric facial authentication, NFC and RFID badges, QR codes, PIN, and passkeys – enabling secure access to shared and rugged devices without disrupting workflows. TEC360 brings enterprise deployment expertise and integration services to operationalize passwordless authentication across complex, multi-site enterprises.

For many organizations, the challenge is not just improving security but doing so without slowing productivity.

“Our customers are under pressure to strengthen their security posture while maintaining workforce efficiency,” said Ricardo Shuck, VP of Cybersecurity at TEC360. “OLOID’s platform is purpose-built for shared-device and frontline environments. Together, we can deliver a solution that enhances security while remaining practical and scalable in real-world operations.”

The joint solution supports passwordless login to shared workstations, kiosks, and rugged devices; secure authentication into enterprise and operational systems; automated provisioning and deprovisioning tied to HR systems; and improved auditability across both cyber and physical access domains.

OLOID’s privacy-centric architecture uses de-identified biometric templates rather than storing facial images and supports customer-managed encryption keys and edge-based deployments. By combining this technology with TEC360’s advisory and implementation capabilities, organizations can accelerate passwordless adoption while meeting compliance, operational, and security requirements at scale.

Drones guide smarter nitrogen use in tobacco fields

GA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Balancing nitrogen use is critical for maximizing crop yield while minimizing environmental and economic costs. A new approach integrates drone-based multispectral imaging with machine learning to guide nitrogen application in tobacco fields. By combining multiple crop growth indicators into a single decision index, the method enables more precise fertilizer recommendations, reducing nitrogen inputs while increasing yield, improving field uniformity, and enhancing overall economic returns.

Nitrogen plays a central role in crop growth, directly influencing leaf development, photosynthesis, and final yield. In practice, however, nitrogen fertilizer is often applied based on experience rather than quantitative assessment, leading to overuse, resource waste, and environmental pollution, or underuse that limits productivity. Remote sensing technologies—especially unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based multispectral imaging—offer new opportunities to monitor crop status dynamically and non-destructively. Yet many existing approaches rely on single indicators, such as leaf nitrogen content, which fail to capture the complex interaction between plant structure and physiology. Based on these challenges, there is a strong need to develop an integrated, data-driven framework to support precise nitrogen decision-making in crop production.

In a study published in Journal of Remote Sensing on January 15, 2026, researchers from agricultural and information technology institutes in China introduced a nitrogen application decision-making scheme based on UAV multispectral imagery. The research addresses a long-standing challenge in tobacco cultivation: how to match nitrogen supply with crop demand across heterogeneous fields. By linking aerial spectral data with machine learning models, the team developed a practical system capable of translating crop growth signals into actionable fertilizer recommendations, supporting precision agriculture under real field conditions.

The study proposes a Recommended Nitrogen Application Index (RNAI) that integrates four key agronomic traits: leaf area index, leaf biomass, chlorophyll content, and leaf nitrogen content. Rather than treating these indicators equally, the researchers applied an entropy weight method to objectively determine their relative importance. UAV-derived vegetation indices were then used to estimate each trait through machine learning, with extreme gradient boosting models consistently outperforming traditional random forest approaches. The resulting decision model translated RNAI values into spatial nitrogen application maps. Field application of this strategy reduced nitrogen fertilizer use by 7.4%, increased tobacco yield by over 2%, and significantly improved yield uniformity across fields.

Field experiments were conducted over two growing seasons using seven nitrogen application levels. Multispectral images captured by UAVs were synchronized with ground measurements of crop traits at key growth stages. From the imagery, 30 vegetation indices were extracted and screened using correlation analysis and recursive feature elimination to identify the most sensitive spectral features. Machine learning models were trained to estimate agronomic traits, achieving coefficients of determination above 0.87 in test datasets and strong cross-year stability.

Using these estimates, RNAI values were calculated and fitted against nitrogen application rates to identify optimal nitrogen levels. The resulting model generated prescription maps guiding topdressing fertilization at the field scale. When implemented in regional tobacco fields, the approach reduced pure nitrogen use by 3.71 kg per hectare while increasing yield by 54.56 kg per hectare. Economic analysis showed a 2.58% increase in net returns, alongside improved spatial consistency in crop performance.

The research team noted that integrating structural and physiological crop traits provides a more realistic assessment of nitrogen demand than single indicators. They emphasized that UAV-based decision maps can help farmers move from uniform fertilization toward adaptive management, improving efficiency while reducing environmental risks. The authors also highlighted the robustness of the approach across seasons, suggesting strong potential for operational deployment.

The study combined UAV multispectral imaging, field sampling, and machine learning. Multispectral data were collected under controlled flight conditions and processed to extract vegetation indices. Ground measurements of crop traits were used for model training and validation. The entropy weight method quantified indicator importance, while random forest and extreme gradient boosting algorithms were applied for trait estimation. Model performance was evaluated using statistical accuracy metrics and cross-year validation.

Beyond tobacco, the proposed framework offers broad potential for other crops requiring precise nitrogen management. With recalibration for local varieties and climates, the method could support sustainable fertilization strategies at regional and national scales. By reducing nitrogen overuse, the approach also contributes to environmental protection and soil health. As UAV technology becomes more accessible, such data-driven decision systems are likely to play an increasingly important role in the future of precision agriculture.

AI Search Is Creating ‘Invisible Visits’ as Businesses Lose Website Traffic

New data suggests AI‑generated answers are reducing the need to click through to websites, shifting where customer decisions happen and how demand is measured.

AI search is starting to answer the question before a website ever loads. When that happens, many business websites are technically visible but never actually visited.”
— Engels J Valenzuela

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As artificial intelligence is built into search, new data suggests more buyers are getting answers without ever visiting many business websites. Analyses of web‑traffic patterns since mid‑2024 show traditional search referrals to major publishers have declined by double‑digit percentages after AI‑generated summaries were introduced, even as overall interest in news and information remains. Polling in the United States also indicates that a majority of adults now use AI tools at least some of the time to find information and recent consumer studies report that, among people who use AI for shopping, generative‑AI tools have become one of the most influential sources of purchase recommendations.

“As AI search answers more of the question on its own, fewer people feel the need to click through to an individual website,” said Engels J. Valenzuela, a customer‑acquisition strategist. “AI search is starting to answer the question before a website ever loads. When that happens, many business websites are technically visible but never actually visited. Being mentioned is no longer the same as being visited.”

Valenzuela, who previously worked on launch and strategy teams at Fortune 50 technology companies including Apple and Amazon Lab126, refers to this pattern as “Invisible Visits.” The term describes moments when a business is seen or summarized inside AI‑shaped search results, rich snippets or overviews, but the user moves on without clicking through to the site itself. He notes that this may help explain why some business owners are seeing lower organic‑traffic numbers without an obvious drop in demand from their markets.

“In many cases, people are still searching and still buying,” he added. “What is changing is where the interaction ends. If an AI summary or search overview provides enough of an answer, the visit never shows up in the business owner’s analytics. That can make it look like interest is falling, even when the underlying demand has not.”

Valenzuela says this shift raises questions about how businesses measure visibility and demand in an environment where more decisions may be made before a click. In his work with entrepreneurs and business owners, he focuses on clarifying, in plain language, who they serve and what they offer and on redesigning the path from first contact to paying customer so it is shorter and easier to follow, with more emphasis on what happens to the attention they already receive.

He has described the Invisible Visits pattern and its implications for discovery in an article on his website titled “How AI‑Powered Search Is Changing Discovery.” Valenzuela has also appeared as a co‑author in several business and personal‑development books with figures such as Les Brown, Scott McKain, Glenn Morshower, John Lee Dumas and Nick Lowery.
